== Using ethylene gas in fruit storage == | |||
An extremely convenient collection of data relating to fruit and vegetable interactions can be found on this site: https://www.mykitchengarden.info/2016/10/fruits-vegetables-producing-ethylene-or-sensitive.html | |||
My final project would be a 'proof of concept' to this data. In a similar fashion to the rotting fruits I would like to find the staple household fruits of people and set them to decay in the presence and absence of ethylene gas sources. This could be done optimally by placing fruits sensitive to ethylene gas next to fruits that release much of it and observing the significance of the fruit proximity. | |||
The goal of such a thing could be to raise awareness on fruit storage, to bring tangible evidence of fruit interaction to people and encourage positive fruit storage habits. Things such as which fruits to keep together and apart for better ripening or longer preservation. The knowledge of which fruits to keep together and which not is somewhat limited to those who look into it while it could be useful to many more people. | |||
